Chapter 39 Changing Clothes
What type is this?
No, rather, this question sounds like...
Mu Jiu, who was engrossed in the art of clothing coordination, was about to blurt out an answer when, after circling it around her lips twice, she realized something was amiss.
Her gaze gradually turned serious, and she looked at Ling Zhao with a thoughtful expression.
On the other side, Ling Zhao, under her gaze, also paused, seemingly realizing that he had misspoke.
That's right.
Mu Jiu nodded to himself.
In theory, as exes, they couldn't possibly be unaware of each other's preferred types.
Furthermore, even if it seems that her preferences have changed after the "breakup" for some time, she shouldn't have used this kind of questioning.
But it's okay, it's not a big problem.
She has experience in dealing with situations where her co-stars don't follow the script and how to make their behavior seem reasonable.
"I didn't think that much about it."
Mu Jiu suddenly smiled brightly: "If I had to say... I just wanted to see you try it?"
At this point, a direct yes or no answer would require more explanation for their interaction.
Therefore, the best approach is not to try to explain why Ling Zhao would ask her about her preferred type, but rather to focus the conversation on the unusual circumstances.
After all, the clothes here are clothes that people don't usually have the chance to wear. It's just natural to ask this question when the other person is joking about changing into different styles of clothing.
Just when Mu Jiu thought her rescue was perfect and sounded flawless, Ling Zhao, who had been stunned, had a strange expression on his face after hearing her reply.
Before Ling Zhao could speak, a staff member waiting nearby finally couldn't help but say, "Teacher Ling is so tall, and he looks like he works out regularly. He really suits this werewolf costume..."
Seeing Ling Zhao's gaze sweep over, the staff member, intimidated by his imposing presence, lowered her voice slightly. However, when she turned to face Mu Jiu, her voice unconsciously rose again, and she even added a meaningful remark at the end: "Believe me, this outfit is really popular among girls!"
"..."
It's unclear why this outfit is so popular among girls.
But for Mu Jiu, those furry ears were definitely the biggest plus.
Staff: "Ms. Ling Zhao, you can try it on without makeup first. You'll look absolutely stunning in it!"
Following the staff's gaze, Mu Jiu blinked and unconsciously looked at Ling Zhao.
Before he could say anything, his partner looked away and awkwardly uttered, "...This one will do."
Mu Jiu: ?
She had actually originally intended to say that if he didn't want to wear it, she could try it on herself...
"Teacher Mu."
Hearing the sound, Mu Jiu came to her senses and looked at the staff member next to her in confusion.
The young lady in charge of the introduction smiled and said, "We also have matching 'Catwoman' costumes and the same animal ear accessories. Would you like to try them on?"
Catwoman?
Judging from the name, it's also an animal-themed product.
But upon hearing about the "same animal ear" accessory, Mu Jiu's eyes lit up: "Then I'll give it a try."
Because of the disappearance of the two people, some viewers in the live stream chat went to other live streams to switch to other streams, while others started to chat aimlessly.
A few minutes later, a silver-gray figure appeared in the center of the live stream.
As he looked up, a ray of light happened to pass over his brown eyes, and for a moment it seemed as if one could see the eerie light in the eyes of a ferocious beast, sending chills down one's spine.
Only a second after being drawn to his gaze can one shift their attention to his appearance—
The "wolf mane" covering his temples looked very fluffy, somewhat resembling a thick snow down jacket that is only worn in winter.
Even with such a selective style of makeup, Ling Zhao's superior features made him appear neither bulky nor simple; on the contrary, it accentuated his sharp and piercing aura.
In addition, Ling Zhao, who usually wore long sleeves and trousers, could be clearly seen wearing the werewolf costume after changing into it. The smooth and firm abdominal muscles outlined by the black leather straps, as well as the powerful muscle lines of his limbs, were clearly visible.
Before Mu Jiu even came out of the other changing room, the live chat exploded:
[Oh my god! Ling Zhao is killing people with her face!!]
[This overwhelming hormones... Although I had a feeling Ling Zhao would suit this look, this man is just too handsome!]
No wonder fans of a certain top celebrity were always making sarcastic remarks about Ling Zhao insulting their idol's good looks; they're really not in the same league.
[To those in the lead: Please don't bring trouble to Chaomu, they're just colleagues.]
[Screenshot, everyone! Why are you all just staring blankly?]
Ling Zhao, who was initially a little nervous, was taken aback when he confirmed that Mu Jiu was not in the room. He quickly realized what was going on and calmly looked away.
Just as he seemed to relax a little and was casually looking at the dazzling array of clothes, a hand wearing a long black leather glove gently lifted the curtain not far away.
His gaze suddenly froze.
Mu Jiu stepped out from behind the curtain with cat-like steps, her slightly upturned fox-like eyes carrying a playful and teasing tone.
The black leather corset accentuated her slender waistline perfectly, and the fishnet stockings extending from the high-waisted slit hot pants shimmered delicately under the light.
With the soft clinking of the metal buckles on her body, both the rise and fall of her chest and the elegant curve of her hips were perfectly outlined.
After stopping, Mu Jiu did not look at Ling Zhao first, but looked at the full-length mirror in front of him.
The feeling of having a pair of movable ears on top of my head is quite novel.
Mu Jiu couldn't help but lean closer to look at herself in the mirror.
Echoing her slightly inquisitive gaze, the black cat ears in the mirror also trembled slightly.
Engrossed in observing the "cat ears," Mu Jiu didn't even have time to reach out and tug at her newly grown ears before the voice of the staff behind her interrupted her thoughts.
"Teacher Mu...you could also take a look at Teacher Ling's outfit, what do you think?"
Upon hearing this, Mu Jiu turned to look at Ling Zhao. Before she could speak, the other woman's gaze abruptly and quickly shifted away from her, as if burned by fire.
Ling Zhao: "This doesn't suit you."
"...?"
Mu Jiu couldn't help but raise an eyebrow in surprise: "What? Do I look bad in this?"
It's worth noting that even when she first met Ling Zhao, her gothic, terrifying, and resentful dress didn't elicit such a reaction.
Although Mu Jiu didn't consider herself someone who could pull off every outfit, the staff member seemed dazed for a while after she changed, and then proceeded to shower her with compliments as if she had lost her senses. She was quite confident...
Before Mu Jiu could catch her breath, her vision was filled with a purple robe.
Mu Jiu: ?
"...You have to tell me your reasons for doing this, right?"
Through the thick outer robe, Mu Jiu helplessly pulled down the collar and poked his head out: "Why are you suddenly doing this all of a sudden?"
Ling Zhao paused, his gaze naturally shifting to the distance, and calmly said, "It's too cold here; you'll easily catch a cold."
[Oh dear~ Who spilled their vinegar jar? It's so sour! /funny/funny/funny]
[Ling Zhao: Showing legs? Don't even think about it!]
"Look into my eyes, Ling Zhao, do you dare say that to Jiu Jiu's eyes?!"
[Jiu Bao, you're so beautiful! It's all because of someone's possessiveness /winking emoji]
[That slight tilt of his head just now made me hallucinate my cat; his temperament is so similar to a cat's!]
[Catwoman's outfit really shows off her figure, so sexy, I love watching it... Hey, why did you wrap my wife up like a mummy?]
[How dare you! Jiu Jiu is my wife!]
[Hmm, if that's the case, then isn't Ling Zhao the ex-husband?]
Amidst the barrage of teasing comments, Mu Jiu finally poked his head out from under his outer robe, looking at Ling Zhao with some displeasure.
Only then did she get a clear look at the other person's attire.
A fluffy mane.
Hairy ears.
A fluffy shawl.
Furry...
Before Mu Jiu could even finish looking at his full outfit, his gaze was unconsciously drawn to the slightly trembling ears on the top of his head.
It is indeed quite amazing that such a thing appeared on people's heads.
Without realizing it, her hand was raised to halfway.
When she came to her senses, Mu Jiu quickly forced herself to look away.
No matter what, these ears are now being placed on top of someone else's head.
Just because of their trembling, furry ears, they mistake people for cats or dogs and feel the urge to pet their heads—that's incredibly offensive...
Before Mu Jiu could retract his hand, a question floated down from above.
"Do you think it's too high?"
Before she could reply, the figure in front of her lowered down, and the silver-gray hair and the "wolf mane" stuck to her temples were within reach of her.
【!! Is this something I can watch without paying?】
[It's a big checkmark! It's a big checkmark!!! How can someone who likes to be patted on the head not have a big checkmark?!]
Yes, he not only likes to be patted on the head, but also wants to be held in one arm, just like my 85-pound dog, but he's heavier than mine.
Wake up, your kid won't grow up to be a handsome man.
[Ling Zhao's face paired with wolf ears is absolutely stunning; he's the number one wolf-sculptor in the Chinese entertainment industry... oh no, the number one wolf-sculptor.]
[I'm dying of laughter from the comments!]
...
Mu Jiu, having thoroughly enjoyed the experience of "rubbing a large dog," withdrew his hand with satisfaction.
After Ling Zhao's reasoned persuasion, Mu Jiu reluctantly changed out of the catwoman outfit and into the dark purple witch's robe.
After having their makeup done, the two were led back to the main entrance of the haunted house by the staff.
On the other side, when the two came out, Fang Yucheng also ended his interaction with the staff and waited in place.
Upon looking up, most viewers in the live stream were inevitably drawn to Ling Zhao's taller and more imposing figure.
With its visually powerful and wild appearance, coupled with the rare animal ear costume, it's sure to turn heads on most passersby.
But as a series of unhurried footsteps sounded, everyone's eyes would unconsciously fall on what was behind him.
The deep purple robe embroidered with indistinct star patterns fluttered as she walked, as if the night were flowing through her.
When the footsteps stopped.
Mu Jiu pulled up his hood, a half-smile playing on his lips.
"Sorry to keep you waiting."
Beneath her half-hidden face, her eyes were dark and deep, burning with an undisguised ambition and desire for control.
It's as if a real witch stepped out of the painting.
